La Taq

At first I was a little taken aback by the price: $22 for 3 tacos and a water. However, when I saw the food, I realized it’s worth it. The tacos are packed with good quality meat, and all ingredients were very fresh and tasty. I was stuffed. They have 3 homemade sauces available too. Certainly a step above the run of the mill Mexican fare in Park Slope! You order at the counter and sit down. They have a nice interior with a decent sized seating area. Will be back!

The food is amazing! This place feels like being in an eatery in Mexico; the aesthetic and portions contribute to this. You can’t see the rice, beans and protein under the toppings, but it was the best burrito bowl I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend.

The best tacos in NYC!! I always get the carne asada - and the homemade chips are really good too. Everything is always fresh and incredibly delicious. The staff is very friendly. One of my go to spots when I don’t want to cook at home.

I’d definitely say this is the best spot for Mexican food in Park Slope and the general area (for burritos, tacos, etc.). I really enjoyed the San Diego burrito though it was a bit heavy on the fries. The interior is beautiful and reminds me of the taco shops in CDMX. Looking forward to coming back and trying out the taco options since I really enjoyed the carne asada in my burrito. It does get quite busy but there weren’t many people when we came, it really depends on the time of day. Stop by if you haven’t yet, this will be my spot for Mexican food going forward and I’m happy about it!

listen — the one thing i won’t do is sugar coat, lie or exaggerate here. that being said — the shredded beef taco w the works is hands down the best taco i’ve had in recent memory. juicy, tasty and legit. large too. great as takeaway — just be sure to pick up some salsas and peppers from the fixings bar!

Their San Diego Fries are the best Carne Asada Fries I've had in a long time. No beans or lettuce that most New York places put, but california places never use. Better meat flavor than many places in California where I grew up. The portions are the largest in New York for a reasonable price. It could have fed 2 people or one really hungry person. Also a free salsa bar gives you the option of different flavors. This place is the closest to a Cali Mexican place I've found on the East Coast.

food was great, service beyond amazing! probably the best tacos I’ve ever tried in brooklyn, would definitely go back!❤️

Rare that I feel compelled to write a review, but La Taq deserves one. The food is phenomenal - certainly the best tacos I’ve had outside of Mexico. The vibe is super inviting, friendly, and fun. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional. The owner is there on a regular basis, and it really shows. I’m seriously impressed - nice work all around.

Big burritos, very flavorful but not cheap. I tend to split one with my daughter and we are both full. Love the salsa bar. They have a small area to eat in the back, but it's basically high quality fast food - but with cool owners

I'll preface this by saying La Taq may be one of my favorite (if not, favorite) Mexican spots in the city. The meat in both our taco and the nachos was delicious, and the cheese blend was on point. Unfortunately, I do have to dock a star because everything was dripping in oil - I'm hoping this was a one-time thing because everything was SO GOOD outside of that. Service was friendly, and their burritos look soooooo good. Would come back to give a burrito a try for sure!!!

La Taq is RIPPING IT UP in Park Slope. The taco/burrito menu is expansive and delicious enough to give you TOUGH decisions to make. Believe all the photos -- the meats are so flavorful and ingredients so fresh, including the hand-rolled tortillas. My tops picks: Rachel's Taco (semi-fried shell!) Carnitas Michoacan DO NOT SLEEP ON THE CARNITAS. It is drippppping with flavor and richness. One of the best carnitases I've ever tasted. The service is outstanding. Do not wait to stop in. Thank goodness for La Taq!

No frills, large burritos, with a huge menu. I came by during lunch on a weekday and it was not too busy. A great place to stop by and grab something to go or sit down as they have a lot of seating. Their burritos are flavorful and packed with filling. They also have vegetarian options as well.

Amazing tacos! Fresh ingredients and great flavor. This is a perfect casual spot for tacos, burritos, and more. Everything was so fresh, we loved the taco shells. The staff was very nice to us. I appreciated the salsa station as well for personalized taco experience. Would love to come back here

Yummy, slightly pricey burritos. Service is quick (unless you're getting a Chimichanga) and easy. The atmosphere is busy in the front but there is seating in the back and some bar tables outside. The carne asada is delicious and they pack a lot of meat in. Burritos are big and will likely be two meals.

Delicious and humongous burritos with friendly service- I'm not a local but if I lived in the area, I'd be getting food here all the time! My friend and I visited at 11am on a Sunday morning- throughout our meal, we saw many customers come in to pick up burritos/tacos so I can tell it's a popular spot for the locals. To order, just go up to the counter, tell the staff member what you want, and then pay at the end of the counter. You'll pick up your food there, and then can grab a seat. Service was very quick and friendly. When you're done with your meal, make sure to clean up after yourself by dropping off your tray and plates at the designated station. My friend got a variety of tacos and some guacamole and chips. I opted for the Chula Vista Burrito (al pastor w/ beans, rice, grilled pineapple, pineapple Colorado sauce and the La Taq salsa)- this was a huge beast of a burrito, and quickly became a fork and knife situation. I see what they mean about the LA burritos, it's really go big or go home! The burrito itself was fantastic. Meat was juicy and tender, the sweetness of the pineapple blended so well with the savory flavors. Check out the little salsa bar near the cash register!

Run, don't walk, to La Taq. From the friendly staff to the generous portions and mouthwatering meat, you're guaranteed to leave happily satisfied. The super nachos can be a meal on its own and have the perfect ratio of meat, cheese, beans and toppings.The tacos are stuffed and have awesome flavor in every bite. The salsa bar has 3 different spice leveled salsas, which is a compliment to any dish. This restaurant itself gives homage to LA and you would think you're there with the authentic flavors in every bite. I will dream about these nachos until I'm back in town and can order them again.

I used to visit Park Slope alot back in the days. I have not been to this area in over 13 years. I was hungry and found a Mexican spot a few feet away. I walked in and felt instant Nostalgia. Something about this place felt familiar. Turns out, I used to come to this spot all the time. They just moved next door. The food was as good as I remember it. The service was quick and easy. The flavors popped right out at me. I liked that we were to order our food and dine in. It was very comfortable and the owner came and sat with us. Definitely not waiting another 13 years to come back. Very authentic and impressive Mexican cuisine.

We arrived close to closing (about an 20 mins) on a Saturday and the staff had no sort of issue with it. They were super nice about letting us stay and eat in (we did not choose to eat inside) and took our order. They were fine with everything on the menu, even the chimichanga that takes some extra time to fry and make. The food was ready within ~15ish mins and was delightful. The service also gave us waters while we were waiting for our food. Overall, really nice staff. The vibes are somewhat retro and very casual with a few tables of 2-4 inside and 2 stand up small tables outside. The food itself was nice and solid. I ordered a Chula Vista burrito and while the flavor was there I did find it a bit dry (could use some sour cream or something). There was a lot of rice and beans and it is stuffing for one person to finish down. The pork was flavorful but after a while it becomes a struggle to keep eating and I probably should have added on sour cream or something else to the burrito. They provide hot, medium, and mild salsa but that wasn't enough. They also provide limes and a few other toppings. Will come back when I'm in the area and give this spot another try.

I got the carne asada and the shredded beef tacos and they were phenomenal. generous serving sizes, HOUSE MADE TORTILLAS and Vegetarian friendly options which is really great because oftentimes vegetarians really miss out on Mexican food because there's usually a lack of options for them.

La Taq is a California inspired Mexican restaurant in Park Slope. On my two most recent visits there were lines out the door, so it is certainly a popular spot, but does it live up to the hype? The store itself is fairly simple. In the front is a counter where you can order your food. For most patrons, that is going to be a burrito or tacos, which are prepared immediately in front of you (chimichangas, nachos and a few other items are prepared separately and brought out to you). The decor is inspired by California, and towards the cash register there is a cooler with all sorts of drinks on display (beer, Mexican Coke and Jarritos, etc). Once you have your food, if you are dining in you will notice an upstairs area with seating (which can be rearranged on request to accommodate larger parties). There is also a salsa bar with mild, medium (chipotle) and hot salsas, as well as pickled jalapeño and carrot and lime on offer. The menu is extensive with California-style Mexican food, including tacos, burritos, a chimichanga (very exciting given the relative difficulty of finding them in New York), nachos, quesadillas, and even what they call San Diego fries (fries with guac, salsa and sour cream, with a meat of your choice). As you'd expect, there is a California burrito (burrito with fries inside), and there are a number of choices of meat and not-meat. On my trips I've sampled the chimichanga (very good, though maybe a bit less fried than I had hoped) and the nachos (very good as well). The burritos are not for the peckish, and are easily some of the largest in New York City (observing my fellow diner it looked as though most people opted to attack with a fork and knife rather than attempt to actually pick it up and eat it. All this represents a fairly compelling option for California style Mexican food in Brooklyn, and it certainly outdoes a number of other more generic Mexican spots in the area, though I do not know that I could give this place 5 stars when compared to other Mexican options in Brooklyn. By no means is it an insult, and I will certainly find myself in La Taq again soon.

Excellent! The owner is super friendly, and the food is delicious. As a native Texan, if I vouch for the authenticity and flavor of an al pastor taco, it is damn good. Nice touch with adding pina too!

I ordered the mini burrito with carne asada and pollo and it was delicious! I lived in Santa Monica for 10 years and there is a place called Tacos Por Favor off of Olympic and Pico and totally reminded me of that place ! A taste of California Mexican here in Park Slope! Can't wait to go back!

This place is perfect. The food is amazing and consistent and the service is quick and friendly! Cute ambiance

Shrimp taco was excellent, buttressed by the chipotle mayonnaise. The king taco had well seasoned steak and great peppers. Chicken guisado was also moist and flavorful.

So great to have this neighborhood favorite back. The flavors are on point and the menu offers plenty of options for fillings. I had the carne asada and the beef was so tender, no. Pulling with your teeth or grizzly bits here. Cal-Mex has a much fresher bite than Tex-Mex and you can see that come to life at their salsa bar. Bueno!

Saw a TikTok on this place interviewing the owner about his original food truck business and his desire to bring California-style burritos and carnitas tacos to the forefront. Came on a Saturday evening and it wasn't too crowded. You order at the counter and they have a few seats in the back if you want to dine-in. They have a ton of protein options and even some veggie fill-ins as well. We got the Rosarita burrito (shrimp and Carne Asada) and the Outrageous California burrito (you pick your fillings - I did carne asada and corn) and overall we both felt that the burritos were massive and we could have just shared one. Overall, we felt the burritos were a little dry and left a little more to be desired. We also got the carnitas and al pastor tacos and while both were good, we'd come back for the carnitas again and again! It was so juicy and flavorful. They have a salsa bar and I will say, that chipotle salsa is drinkable - I put it on everything! For the price, it's hard to say that it's worth it but I'd come back to support the business and certainly to eat that carnitas taco! Rating: 4/5 stars!

Great Mexican food spot! The place is very inviting and I love the decor also the service is extremely fast you can also see them making everything which I love. They have a vast majority of options my group and I came for the burritos as we saw a TikTok about this spot. We ordered the Chula Vista and San Diego burrito as well as nachos and two agua frescas as a frozen margarita they had available. Now the burritos are very delicious so much flavorl and ingredients in one burrito the options and itself is just nothing like I've ever seen 10/10 it is extremely huge I couldn't finish it which in a way it's great but man was I not expecting it to be that way. In a way it balances out as one burrito does run around $17-20 on the steep side but for the amount and flavor and overall quality 10/10 I believe with my part of the two burritos and two drinks it was around $50 which is on the higher end compared to other places I've been to so that's the only reason I took a star away as some may see it as expensive. The place has decent amount of seating in the back enough for about 15 -20 people so not too much but decent and it was clean so props for that . Overall great spot to try if having a big appetite and the funds

I'm so glad that La Taq is back! I missed them. The food is still great! The only really good Mexican restaurants in our neighborhood. Staff are nice. Great seating for the little room they have in the location.

Giant breakfast burritos and some of the best nachos I've ever had. Soooo good and easy to get a table on a Saturday

10/10 everything has AMAZING!!! We had such a yummy dinner and Frank is the best!!!! Xoxo La Taq forever

Generous portion sizes at good quality and good price, which is hard to come by these days!! Great personal service.

Excellent. Lovely service. Gargantuan portions. Not even vaguely related to fast food. Love the salsa bar. Highly recommend.

La Taq was good! Stumbled in here with my cousin and tried their San Diego burrito. Been wanting to try a California-style burrito for years so I was happy when I saw this place specialized in them. However, for the nearly $20 I paid for my burrito, I didn't think it was worth it. The fries inside were very mealy. There wasn't a lot of steak in my burrito which I would have appreciated given the price. The burrito's wrap itself, however, was delicious and you can tell they are made in-house. The burrito was also fresh Honestly only taking a star off for the price. Other than that it's a cool location and the employees are nice and take/fulfill orders quickly.

Pricey, but very hefty burritos with yummy fillings! I recommend adding in the pineapple - really adds a burst of flavor.

I feel bad leaving a review that's isn't 5 stars. I didn't have the experience I was hoping for. I have been waiting to try this restaurant due to the good reviews and the long lines I see when passing by. First, the staff is extremely friendly and I do love the atmosphere, especially the artwork on the walls. Everything is homemade. I ordered takeout- three grilled steak tacos and a side of chips and salsa. It came to $30. When I received my order it only contained one taco. They apologized and made me two more. The tacos were ice cold, soggy, and the tortillas fell apart as I picked them up. . I found the meat tough, chewy, and too salty. I couldn't finish them. The bag of chips was large (a little greasy) and the container of salsa was really small. $4 for a tiny cup. I will give it another try and next time eat at the restaurant. Maybe takeout wasn't the best call. Hopefully the second time around will be a better experience.

From the moment I walked in I was greeted by the owner a super chill guy originally from California like me so I had high hopes. I ordered an East LA carne asada burrito. Everything about it was absolutely perfect. Packed with flavor! The aesthetic of the place was well thought out and executed. I would invite friends to join me here for a meal any day. Already planning my next visit. So glad they're back in the neighborhood.

This is the best taqueria in the neighborhood, by far. The orders come out super fast and the portions are huge. There's a self serve salsa bar which is a rarity.

Dropped by after work on a wet Thursday evening. Short wait to get my to-go order at the counter. The staff was super friendly even though they were pretty busy, there was seating in the back which had a "party" vibe. Ordered Tacos, refried beans, rice, chips, and guac. Corn tortillas were supple with a nice corn flavor. Carne Asada Taco - excellent! Meat was tender, super flavorful with a little kick. Carnitas - pork was succulent! Al Pastor - a little heat in this that I wasn't expecting, but damn it was delicious! All tacos were well filled - the three were split between my partner and me. Could we have eaten more, oh hell yeah, but we had to save room for finishing off the outstanding rice & beans and chips and guac. Happy to have La Taq back in the hood!

California Taqueria is back baby! La Taq is the reincarnation of the original Park Slope Mexican restaurant that was a beloved institution. Recently I tried a steak and chicken California burrito and it was as amazing as I remember with a beautifully complex jalapeno kick. Welcome home La Taq!

Finally found the perfect California burrito! Moved here from San Diego a few years back and I can't believe we have the perfect California mexican food here in Park Slope. Salsa is great. Vibes are great. Service is amazing.

FINALLY! Love this place. Just moved from California and was having trouble in the NYC burrito scene. thank you La Taq!!

stumbled into this place after spending that first weekend spring day at prospect park and what a little treasure it is!!! food is so delicious, (I'm from texas so I'm judgmental about tacos and I give these a thumbs up) and the restaurant had such a cool vibe and the service was immaculate!!! we got directed to the bakery right down the street cousin johns. awesome dinner :D

Ain't nothing like the real thing! Authentic food. Absolutely delicious. Some things never change. Like well prepared dishes from the La Taq kitchen. Good service .Amazing atmosphere Try it. You wont be disappointed. Still going strong since, 1989. Groovy playlist. La Taq. You rock

They are back and the food is so good. Really fresh and so tasty. Orders come quickly.

Food was really bland. I ordered the nachos, chips and guacamole, and tacos. No one with me enjoyed the food and I've had tastier food at Taco Bell. Also the people who work at the front were standoffish.

You order as you come inside. No need to wait for a server or for a table. If there are tables you can just say "to stay", no tables you can take it to go. Easy! Food is also very fresh and good!

This is the single worst establishment to ever exist. I got tacos and they were the single worst tacos to ever exist. I talked to the staff and they were the single worst people to ever exist. I felt the ambiance and it was the single worst ambiance to ever exist. Overall this is the single worst establishment to ever exist.

Definitely the best taco spot in the area. Tortillas are freshly made and you can tell the difference. Everything we tried was excellent. Will definitely be back soon.

great al pastor, and the homemade tortillas made in the ~20 minutes before you order is peak

Hands down the best taco I've ever had in my life. And my waistline says I've had too many. The King Taco is off the hook. Highly recommended. This will be our new Taco Tuesday spot. Please come out and support this local business!

As a native Californian, I've been searching for Cali style burrito in New York. La Taq is legit! Really flavorful meat, healthy portions. And the staff and setting is nice.

I only give it two stars to get the owners (maybe) attention. You have to figure out your tacos. The burritos and other things are great. The flour tortillas hold everything together, but the corn tortillas for the tacos are a mess and make the taco impossible to hold. Maybe this is on purpose? Maybe that's the way they eat them in california? (It's not.). We were told that there were no flour tortillas for tacos, only corn. If so, please figure out how to make them bearable. Aint right to call the restaurant Le Taq and then have this be such a problem. I say this with a good heart because I really want you to succeed! Will definitely revise if it improves.
